On opening day, Aug. 31 — which will be designated Pomona Day at the Fair — residents will get in for $1.

The L.A. County Fair will celebrate the Mother Road with the theme “Get Your Kicks…at the L.A. County Fair.” As part of the theme, food vendors will be offering Route 66 food for $6.60.

To purchase the tickets in advance, residents can visit www.fairplex.com/pomonaday and leave their email. A resident code for the 66-cent Pomona Day tickets will be emailed to recipients with instructions on how to purchase tickets online.

Residents who don’t have an email, they can provide their street address and a code will be mailed.
